How I Read the Bible
There are a ton of ways to read the Bible, and over the years, I've tried almost all of them. A few years ago, I tried a new method - buying a planner to track my Bible reading plan. The planner isn't used to keep track of appointments or blog ideas...nothing extra. It is solely devoted to tracking what I read each day and the thoughts, emotions and insights God speaks into my heart.
This year I am doing this chronological reading plan. Well, kind of! Last year I ended in the Old Testament, and seeing as how this plan starts in the Old Testament, I decided to skip to the New Testament portion. Before January 1st, I took about 45 minutes to copy each day's passage (what chapters/verses, not the entire passage) from yearly plan into the planner. This saves me time and effort each day, and cuts down the excuses I have for NOT reading the Bible.
Why I love this method: I love how easy it is to track how consistent my time with God is. But more importantly, I love how easy it is to track how sweet my time with God is. Jotting down how God spoke to me in a passage, how I'm challenged by it or how I have cried over it allows my forgetful heart to see God's goodness over the course of a year.
I'd LOVE to hear how you read the Bible!
After researching what felt like a zillion planners, I settled on a Sugar Paper planner from Target. I picked up a second Sugar Paper planner for my blog ideas, schedule and goals. (Sold only through Target, and sadly, sold out online. Check your local Target to see if they have any left.) These are some of the most inspirational planners I've ever used (love the colors, style, size, font, etc). Also, my coaster is from Eva Marie Typography, my pencil is from The Common Grade and my table runner is from this post.
